I've only ever seen one, so guess it must be the same; identical in every way to a normal P1 except white...even has the front wing badges

Isn't it the one as pictured in the photo in Chris Rees's "Impreza" book.

From memory the pic is with Dave Lapworth and Dave Richards in foreground; with the white P1 (sporting gold Superleggeras) behind them; and the Prodrive premises in the background...?

I think it still had the top half of the STi 5 rear wing on it (obviously Peter Stevens redesigned that section later on...)

It would look like mine then Clive as that's the colour I've used on mine

Next time you're up this way give me a shout. I live 10 mins from where we met the other day when you dropped those parts off. You can see my car in the flesh and draw your own conclusions as to how good it looks






The white P1 was for sale at a dealer not so long back, there is a thread about it somewhere.

Yep I have seen that before.

I believe there were 1004 P1's made. !000 to the uk, with Subaru & Prodrive retained two each.

That must be one of Prodrive's, wonder where the other one is ?

A P1 club member had a friend who worked for DVLA and I think it was 736 P1's registered as of last year.

your cracking up mate

We were talking outside your garage last week about how well Paul does on his budget and you said to me "they run the same 6 speed". That is why I mentioned to the other guy that the 6 speed is a strong box, because you mentioned about Paul's race car.

You Nutter

Educated guess i would say -

Sound deadening 15kg
Seats 20kg
boot 15kg

So should now weigh approx 1240kg which isn't too bad given it's got the cage in.

I have even lost 1/2 a stone Will have to hit the gym hard post TOTB to put it back on !

But now i have fitted a MD321T yesterday and it will be mapped on 10% meth, as its hardly a road car anymore, cant wait til wednesday and a trip to Surrey rolling road to see Simon and charlie
